If you're serious about photography but on a tight budget then you're in luck. Today, Adobe announced the availability of Lightroom 5 beta for Windows and Mac as a free download.

Adobe Lightroom allows photography enthusiasts and professionals to enhance, organise and share photos. The new release offers a free, public preview of new features and tools that will be offered in the final release, expected later this year.

"Lightroom is the essential tool for busy professional and discerning amateur photographers, who are uncompromising in the pursuit for image quality or searching for artistic expression," said Abobe's vice president of digital imaging products, Winston Hendrickson. "The Lightroom 5 beta is highly valuable in ensuring the new features support and address the needs of our customers and we look forward to hearing feedback."
